Due to the documented risk and exposure to many kinds of natural and man-made hazard events, in particular flooding, severe storms, and severe winter storms, among others. The KIPDA Regional Mitigation Plan Committee understands the need for improved information for decision making when managing disasters. The plan is the result of a systematic evaluation of the nature and extent of the the vulnerability posed by the effects of natural and man-made hazards present (risk assessment) and includes a five-year action plan to minimize future vulnerability (mitigation strategy), accompanied by a schedule that outlines a method for monitoring and evaluating plan progress (plan maintenance). The geography examined for the plan includes 6 KIPDA counties and their 22 cities.
